Browse the class
profile featured in the university’s portal and identify the average
GRE/GMAT/SAT score
·
The scores are not
always the deciding factor but they place your profile among the strongest
candidates list when admission officers evaluate applications.
·
Having a high CGPA is
very important but this again is not a deciding factor. Colleges are faced with
the uncertainty of whether the admitted student will finally enroll, hence a
demonstrated interest in the form of a visit to the college campus, an
interaction with the admission officer will be very beneficial.
·
Take a tour, ask questions and if there is a
sign in sheet enter your name. This provides an edge over other applicants.
Early application carries a higher rate of admission which is backed by a
survey that highlighted, Harvard admitted 21 per cent of applicants in the
early round when the total rate of admission was 5.9 per cent.
·
This clearly
demonstrates Harvard admitted just 3 per cent from the regular admission pool.
However, a point to note is early admission decision is binding. It prevents
the student from making an alternative choice.
·
Interaction with professors of the university
and with current students or alumni provides a distinct advantage as it
illustrates the deep interest in joining the college.
·
Sometimes the
admission officer arranges an interview with the current students. Don’t forget
to mention this information in the essay.
·
To create a successful
essay one needs to brainstorm multiple ideas before finalizing one and then
create an outline. Writing an essay then becomes an easy task.
